Ephesians 4:11-12 " Now these are the gifts Christ gave to the church: the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, and the pastors and teachers. Their responsibility is to equip God’s people to do his work and build up the church, the body of Christ."


We thank God for enabling three of our pastors to complete their ordination process. TBM, CBOQ and the local church worked together to hold the ordination services.





May to August 2023

All praise and thanksgiving belong to our God for how He has guided me and given me wisdom for the first three months in my new role as TBM director. By His grace, He has enabled me to visit (attended Sunday service) 2 churches, preach at 5 churches, meet with 3 pastors for sharing and prayer, and attend 2 events, namely the ordination of Rev. Edwin Chan at Logos Mississauga Baptist Church on June 4 and the Northeast Cluster Meeting at Spring Garden Baptist Church on June 29.


I am scheduled to preach in two other churches in the coming weeks and I will be leading the installation of Ptr. Erwin Jardin as the new senior pastor of Ferndale Baptist Church on September 24.


As I preached in our churches, this gave me the opportunity to bring them greetings from our TBM family and I also had the privilege to share about TBM ministries to two of the churches who gave me time to do so.


It is such a joy to meet the bigger family of TBM churches, to get to know the pastors and meet some of the leaders and members of the churches. We are to encourage one another all the more as we see the day of the Lord approaching.


If there are some pastors who need a break or who need someone to take care of the pulpit while you go on vacation or have some health challenges, please don’t hesitate to contact me so I can see if I can be of help on the days you need a speaker.


We have referred two pastors to CBOQ who are interested in getting credentialed. Do reach out to me if you or your pastor wants to be ordained or get accreditation with CBOQ.


We are here to serve you, our TBM family of churches. Please feel free to reach out to us if we can help in any way with some of your needs. We are one family and we would like to share the resources God has provided to us so we can bless one another.

By Rev. Bonnie Parsons

I was glad when they said to me, let us go into the house of the Lord! (Ps. 122)

It has been an exciting time in our family of churches. Even though the pandemic has indelibly marked our world, the light that shines in the dark can not be extinguished! (John 1:5) It’s been a busy time with Examining Councils for Ordination Candidates, along with Ordination Services, as God’s call on the hearts and lives of his people prepares our

communities and our cities for the work and service he calls us to.


Prayer clusters took a break in the summer, reflecting much needed and deserved vacation

times. For that we are grateful, though it revealed the need for pulpit supply and musical

support. Online services enabled us to continue a sense of communal worship, even when we couldn’t “be” together. The road ahead offers us the challenge to use technology wisely. We came up with this survey to get a better snapshot of who we are, and what we have to offer one another.
